Chico, California is a small college town with so much art and the amount of magic that pours from the artists here is truly one of my favorite things about living here. It's not a secret this town is known for drinking ... So to see that script flipped upside down and witnessing a community event focused solely on art and 🌿 was quite refreshing.

Workshop participants reviewing instructional materials at outdoor tables.

Recently, I had the pleasure of capturing Chicos First, Puff and Paint event hosted by Marisa Segovia.


Watching the participants enjoy a perfectly Chico summer evening while getting creative with their friends was such a sweet treat. Each participant was provided with a canvas feat. hand drawn art by Marisa and a rerolled joint to enjoy ! 🎨
